ICT4D at CIES 2012 in San Juan, Puerto Rico
CIES 2012, the 56th annual conference of the Comparative and International Education Society, was held this past week in beautiful and sunny San Juan, Puerto Rico. As usual, the conference brought together scholars from around the world for a week of stimulating discussion and networking.
ICT4D SIG Highlighted Session - Innovative uses of ICT in development.
The ICT4D Special Interest Group had one highlighted session in addition to the annual business meeting. The presentations at the highlighted session were:
It was interesting to note how the presentations in the session suggest a shift in current ICT4D thinking from concerns about accessibility to technology to concerns about the availability of appropriate content. The presentations will be made available here on the ICT4D SIG website in the near future.
ICT4D SIG Business Meeting.
The ICT4D SIG held its annual business meeting at the conference. Present at the meeting were about 15 old and new members. Topics that were discussed included, SIG officers, SIG outreach, the SIG website and communications, and how we can use the business meeting to bring more attention to the SIG at future conferences.
Two changes were made regarding SIG officers. Tryggvi Thayer (University of Minnesota) retired as Information Officer and was voted in as Secretary. Matt Finhold-Daniel (Seward, Inc.) was voted in as the new Information Officer and Haijun Kang as Program Chair. The officers are then:
Chair: Jayson W. Richardson (University of Kentucky)
Co-chair: Jeffrey Lee (Azusa Pacific University)
Secretary: Tryggvi Thayer (University of Minnesota)
Program Chair: Haijun Kang (Kansas State University)
Information Officer: Matt Finholt-Daniel (Seward, Inc.)
